Questions  

Electronic configuration of  germanium  is  2, 8,  18 and 4.  To make it extrinsic semiconductor small quantity of antimony  is added.

a
The material obtained will be N-type germanium in which electrons and holes are equal in number.
b
The material obtained will be P-type germanium.
c
The material obtained will be N-type germanium which has more electrons than holes at room temperature.
d
The material obtained will be N-type germanium which has less electrons than holes at room temperature.

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Antimony is a fifth group impurity and is therefore a donor of electrons.
